I suspect, that when (if) the ‘23 vintage assessments roll in, it may be a different story than ‘17. I have read that the ‘23 year was a “solar” year, producing full, rounded, mature ( as in fruit) wines.
So…after roughly 1/2 hour standing open( with a lil’ bit poured out), we’re getting round lemons, Lots of seashore. As if one were to lick the white cliffs of Dover i like to ponder., a little bit of biscuit, refreshingly dry but not severe.
The palate outdoes the nose at this point. And with this first bottle I don’t think we’re making it to day two. Glad i bought 4. I hope i didn’t give gifts…must check.
With Randy.
